Do I: Drive all the way to B&Q and see if there is some super drill bit
for
ridiculously tough concrete (is there?)

However with the Makita SDS it was so easy I just couldn't believe it
and really it was a pleasure doing hole drilling after that!....

Where exactly is the concrete?

In the dividing wall between two rooms - a pipe finder didn't beep, so I'm
assuming that means no reinforcing there.
Or did you mean where as in "SW1"?!?

Cheaper to buy a step ladder and place it on that,no need to drill wall

Done that!

and whether or not you bought it from "Aldi".

I know, they're pretty good for power tools - I bought a load a few months
ago. I see you had success with an SDS drill from Aldi too:

I'll have to keep an eye open for their next special on that!

Are you sure you are not drilling rebar?

Definitely not!
